It's a 1966 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88. Pretty much a unicorn. The Jetstar was only produced for three years. 64 and 65 were similar and it was redesigned for 66. Then it was discontinued.

The motor makes about 500 ft lbs and 425 hp. The car weighs 4000 lbs. It's kinda a B body. I say kinda because Oldsmobile didn't share much with the other GM brands.
My dad had an Olds Toronado. We also had a 98, Omega and Cutlass through the years.

Too bad the radial artery is in the forearm, not the pelvic area (Left or right side, we dont know) where the issue was described......

looks like Mr. Tech is complimenting Ms. Hannah's incorrect medical advice in hopes to toss the salad.

Very nice!

My dad had a 67 Cutlass Convertible as well as 4 or 5 early 70s Vista Cruisers, and I had a 72 Cutlass in college. They drive so smooth.
 
Static electricity causing arcing across the wheel bearing is the general consensus from a Google search. Good eye on catching it, and good on the OP for installing it. (whether it
serves any real purpose or not)
I’d guess since the fuel line runs just across from it and touches the same part, it’s a safety precaution. It’s a mechanical fuel pump so not sure if there is any issues with electricity, but maybe just static buildup next to the fuel line was a concern?
